Quest’s Spotlight performance management driven by Azure SQL Database

Performance management correlates with cost management. If you can halve the execution time for a particular query that runs all the time, you’ve just halved your costs. And this is particularly true now in the cloud, where people are being charged by the minute to run workloads.
